Update: With a severe thunderstorm watch still in place, a tornado warning on the go and some really annoying persistent rain happening right now I am going to cancel the official Thursday Advanced ride.

RIDE CANCELLED | Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 21 8:00AM
RIDE CANCELLED: There are several nasty blobs of weather headed this way. It could go either way, but I’m not keen on getting caught in a thunderstorm. I haven’t done any gravel rides to the north and east of town for quite some time. I was hoping to do that for this ride, but it…

Hey you intermediate riders – where have you been the last couple of weeks? Come on out while you still can! And let’s head north while we still have enough daylight. Don’t be scared by the gravel indicated on the R4/R5 route – most of that is actually sweetly paved. There’s just a bit of…

Butter tarts in Belwood. Now that I have your attention, that’s gonna be what we’re eating at the midpoint of this ride. It’s a classic route up around north of Guelph – Lots of gravel roads, which is sort of the point of these rides… Additionally, we can adjust the distance based on what people…
